“It’s a wrap! The 14th and final PCD album is complete vocally. We really think you’re going to like this album. Great songs!"

With that, Phillips, Craig & Dean hinted at their impending retirement on their Facebook page a few weeks ago. There’s no official announcement yet, but the guys are urging fans to attend upcoming concerts “to worship and celebrate 25 years of music ministry.”

PCD released their first album in 1992, which included “Favorite Song of All” (still a KJOL staple), followed in 1994 by “Concert of the Age.”

Throughout their career, they have each continued to pastor separate churches in Texas and Missouri. In 2012, Dan Dean was diagnosed with prostate cancer and is now in recovery and remission.

Newsboys United visit Fox & Friends

The Newsboys United (featuring original members Peter Furler and Phil Joel) recently were in New York City where they made an appearance on Fox & Friends. They explained that they “sing about what we believe” and “the fact is, we’ve found hope and light in our life. We follow the Creator and it’s blessed our lives.”

When asked to name their most requested songs, TobyMac listed “Shine,” “He Reigns,” “We Believe,” and “God’s Not Dead.”

While the Newsboys were just in Olathe at Nightvision, you can catch the entire Newsboys United at Denver First Church on October 4.
